Junior Member

I was at Keeneland yesterday and a police officer asked for my ID. Unfortunately I gave him my fake ID, he caught me and gave me a citation for both posession and use of false id. I was wondering what the consequences are in kentucky? This is the first time I've been in trouble, so I didn't know if that made a difference. Should I get a lawyer? The police officer told me that if I went to court, I would probably get community service and it would be cleared from my record. Is this true?

Because you presented a fake ID to purchase the alcohol, I don't think you will get away with community service. It might just be jail time for you.
